Overview of Indiana Testing Requirements

Educators in Indiana have access to ETS's Praxis tests to help them demonstrate their knowledge of content, pedagogy and instructional skills for their roles in Indiana schools.

For initial certification in Indiana, all candidates must:

• Establish an account in the online License Verification and Information System (LVIS).
• Complete an approved traditional or alternative path licensure program. Licensure in Career and Technical Education (CTE) areas also requires documented nonteaching occupational work experience.
• Complete applicable licensure tests.
• Select the applicable license application path in LVIS for your desired licensure action. Upload official transcripts of all degrees, coursework, test score reports, teaching experience, occupational work experience if applicable and other required documents as prompted.
• Provide proof of current CPR certification, including hands-on skill practice on a mannequin. (View approved providers.)
• Provide proof of completion of suicide prevention training (must be at least 60 minutes). View resources.
• Submit and pay for the application.
• See Indiana's application quick links for standards forms and checklists for licensure.

• If you test in Indiana at a test center or using the Praxis test at home solution, and your Praxis profile address is in Indiana, your score report will be sent automatically to the Indiana Department of Education.
• If you test outside Indiana or your Praxis profile address is not in Indiana, your scores are NOT automatically sent to the Indiana Department of Education. To have your scores sent to the Indiana Department of Education, you must select the Indiana Department of Education (state code 7238) as a score recipient when you register.
• For all methods of Praxis testing, to request additional score reports you must select the Indiana Department of Education (state code 7238) with each additional score report request if you want the Indiana Department of Education to receive it.
